Ahh, the penny-pinching of cheapo hoarding-wallahs!So, after receiving complaints from the Salon and Beauty Parlors’ Association of India (yeah, I thought it was a joke too) about the offensive nature of the term "Barber" in the title of the upcoming Red Chillies' Production Billu Barber, Shah Rukh Khan has decided to drop the word from the film's title. Less than a week before it's release. Therefore, it is now called Billu. Wow, what a slick name for a movie! Not.
As Amit Varma cleverly points out, 'If Raj Kapoor’s Shri 420 was released today, a Thieves and Dacoits Association of India might well have turned up to protest at the title—and the producers would then have to cut “420” from the title, leaving just “Shri.”'
Mera Bharat Mahaan!
P.S. - Tinu didi, notice the date of release! Heppy Early Birdday! :P

LOL seriously?! That's HILARIOUS! What the hell?
lol. i know it's ridiculous! i still don't get what the big offense is exactly!? It's just sad that when it comes to things like this, people are so quick to up and protest... where are these people when the big things happen!? seriously, don't we have bigger problems to worry about than the use of the term 'barber' in a BOLLYWOOD film!?! Um, let's see... child marriage, sex-trafficking, farmer suicide, sati.... and the list goes on and on. Seriously, what the hell!? ugh, sometimes this world really drives me CRAZY! :)
... and thanks for the early birdday wish! i'm going to be 21!! I still FEEL like a child! :P
